The photos in this set were taken at a workshop titled "Successories – Fashion Accents for a Stellar Wardrobe" at the Power Plant in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on February 26th, 2011. Thanks are due to Albert Heefner (MM#1312990) for organizing and managing the event.

I used this shoot as a live testing environment to prepare me for my first self-organized large-scale photo shoot, Shooting Six: A Model Shoot, which happened the next morning.

Challenges for this shoot included working an intentionally "boring" space, a blank, white-painted brick wall, and lighting appropriately to pick up what I'd need to create a set of faux magazine spreads. This required a simple backdrop but a variety of focal length choices, apertures, and lighting setups. The faux spreads, as shown, are all tests for the work I'm going to do for the Shooting Six set, in a little while.
